Ok, Meg tagged me to answer the following about books. I love to read so this shouldn't be too hard! I could answer The Bible to many of these questions but I've decided to leave that book out as I answer but it is definitely in there.
1. One book that changed my life: What's so Amazing About Grace by Philip Yancy. He has two chapters on forgiveness that taught me how to forgive someone at a time that I was really struggling. It has helped me ever since and I find myself going back to those chapters and recommending them to others.
2. One book I have read more than once: Little House on the Prairie and Ann of Green Gables.
3. One book I would want on a desert island: Well, I gotta say the Bible here but I just can't imagine being in that situation with out it and then maybe the Trinity Hymnal so I could sing to myself and not be frustrated that I couldn't remember the words to songs.
4. One book that made me cry: Definitely What's so Amazing About Grace since it pointed out the sin in my heart. Also C.S. Lewis' Narnia Tales because they just hit at what your heart longs for. I could name many others--I get kinda wrapped up in what I'm reading.
5. One book that made you laugh: Any of our Calvin and Hobbs cartoon books.
6. One book you wish had been written: More hints on how to be a long distance Mom and Grandmother.
7. One book you wish had not been written: I gotta agree with Meg--The Constant Gardner, what a waste of time and I never did finish it. It wasn't cheap to buy either!!!
8. What are you currently reading: Love Walked Among Us: Learning How to Love LIke Jesus by Paul Miller and Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith. It's one in a series of books that take place in Bostwana about the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. I definitely recommend these books for those of you who love Africa. They are fun and an easy read, for sure!
9. One book you've been meaning to read: You're Wearing that? Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation by Deborah Tannen. My sister recommended it in reference to my relationship with my Mom and since I have four daughters and a daughter in law and four granddaughters, it seems a good read for me.
